1. When my mom came over with Robyn's kids last Monday, she brought along a little sewing project to teach Whitney and Olivia. She taught them how to sew, cut-out and stuff simple, little dolls as part of a humanitarian project she's working on through the church. The girls loved it. I don't know how I ended up with NO sewing skills whatsoever when my mom is such the seamstress.
2. Andrew was in the car with my mom the other day when they picked Landon up so I took this picture. He is always funny to me, and I love how consistent he is with the things he loves. He always has his Toy Story Woody doll with him and he always listens to "My Turn On Earth" when he's in the car. He has been responsible for me getting that song stuck in my head many, many times!
3. On Tuesday after I picked up Landon from his sleepover with the cousins we went to Paradise Bakery for a little something (courtesy of the gift card from Robyn). It's unusual for Landon and I to be in a restaurant alone together and it was hanging out talking to him. He's always enjoyable.
4. Amy and I did a sleepover switch with the girls this week, so that meant I had a house full on Wednesday and Thursday. I was so happy they played outside (in the brown pool water) for 5 hours! They actually made minimal trips in and out of the house (which is unusual) and only devoured one batch of grapes in addition to their breakfast, lunch and dinner meals. (They're usually insatiable so this made it easier on me.)
5. I saw '17 Again' twice in a 5 day period and loved it both times. Not only is Mr. Efron deliciously cute, but the whole story was enjoyable and funny; I think I'll end up buying the DVD when it comes out.
6. Lori and I went to Noodles & Company for dinner the other night and I ended up walking on the wild side by ordering meatballs in my macaroni and cheese (as suggested on the menu). It wasn't until we sat down at the table that I saw this hilarious (at least to me) advertisement for the dish. A noodle and a meatball holding hands, that's funny right?

My week was great! Yours looks pretty awesome as well :)
Mac and cheese and meatballs actually sounds gross to me. Was it good?
I haven't seen 17 Again! Shocking since I go to at least one movie a week. I am waiting for it to hit RedBox I guess.
I can sew- very basically. I need to break down and just dive in.
I'm pretty impressed that you managed to blog on both Friday and Saturday with a campout inbetween! Serious dedication. I'm sure I would have given in to the pull of the couch.
I had a good week. Busy, but productive. I love it when I accomplish things that stay done, such a rarity.
I think it's adorable that your mom taught the girls to make those dolls! My sewing skills are pretty rudimentary, but I really enjoy making things.
I really enjoyed 17 Again! Thanks for seeing it with me.
I need to see 17 again- it actually looks good to me?
and I'm not a huge movie fan...
THat is a CUTE advertisement & oh ya funny :) looks tasty too!
We want to go camping a night or two but hear it's really hard to get a spot this year? true??
love to sew- but it literally took years & years of making crap to get 1/2 way decent at it. I am seriously surprised I stuck with it! I cannot teach anyone though- especially my girls- it's like teaching your own kids piano lessons= not a good idea for so many reasons...
these girls are lucky to have someone who can/will teach them!
I am impressed & so pleased with your blogging dedication- since I have accomplished nearly nothing all week long- except sitting my rear in front of the computer.
I have serious "can't get going" issues right now- for who knows what reason?? I have no good excuse- except for Now it is hot??
thank you seriously, thank you for something fun to read :)
My week was great . . . thank you for asking.
I can sew, but not seamstress qualities like your mom. I'm always so amazed at how involved your mom is in yours and your kids' lives. What a great idea to help the girls with a humanitarian project.
Can't wait to hear about your campout.
I love "17 Again"! It was one of the best movies I've seen recently. That movie will definitely join my media library.
And I'm impressed with your blogging dedication--I can't wait to read about the campout!
I'm totally in love with that boy from 17 again, I was late like 10 minutes, so now I have to see it again! you have been sure busy. I bought a sewing machine and my mum is wonderful with the sewing machine but i never TOOK interest until a few years back when i made those sarong wrap skirts. NO mac and cheese for moi! Got your beautiful card and pkt, you made my week--gorgeous!
I wish I could sew!
i'm just not sure about the mac and meatballs...was it good?
i wish i could sew...i am hoping my girls will learn and they can just sew stuff for me;)
I loved hearing that you love Masterpiece theater. I am obsessed with it! Little Dorrit was one of my favorites from last season. I am amazed at the quality of shows that they produce. Awesome!
first of all... I have that same yellow table, minus the original chairs.
I am super envious of the fact that you have the chairs that go with the table - and they are in great shape!!!!
also, I think mac and cheese can go with anything - havent tried it with meatballs yet. we will soon.
can't sew either and like yours my mom {aunt and grandmother} so beautifully...neither Kacey nor I sew!
Mac & cheese with meatballs? shear genious! Love that picture...
You always manage to capture such clever little misc. items...
I don't sew...I hot glue.
Never saw 17 but guessing by the ringing endorsements, I'll make it a point to see it...
I'm fixated on the looks of your sandwich with chocolate fudgy cake for dessert? I could go for that right about now!
That's so sweet that your brother takes his Woody doll with him everywhere...
Oh my gosh, I remember seeing My turn on Earth when I was about 8 years old...I had forgotten all about it until now...I'll have to get the music...
Great week!
No!
No!
I love to sew. It isn't hard and you would be great at it if you found a fun project to start on. One you felt excited about!
I think I would like to hang out with your brother. I want to give him a big smooch on his cheek and then have him introduce me to his Woody doll. I'm sure we would be great friends.
My week? Incredibly fast, leaving me feeling left in the dust.
Mac with Meatballs? An interesting possibility and a very funny promo pic.
"17 Again?" Definitely want to see it after hearing Charlotte and Emily rave about it.
Sewing? Why, of course!
I really wish I had sewing skills.
I love mac and cheese and if I go there I will add meat balls to it. That does sound good.
I saw the movie also and thought Mr. Efron was mighty cute. I refer to "Edward" from twilight at delicious to look at also. What is up with all of these young yummy actors?
I am looking forward to seeing 17 again, good to know that it is worth seeing.
I wish I could sew!! My mom gave me an old machine and is going to teach me, we just haven't gotten around to it yet (its only been a year :) I think that is such a great skill to have!
I have not seen 17again, but I have heard it is really great!
The week has been busy busy- Girls Camp is right around the corner, plus I threw in a little trip for the kids and I to Michigan this weekend and through this week.
Still haven't seen 17 again, but I really want to!
My week was busy! It looks like you had a lot of fun and had a busy week as well.
I have never had mac & cheese with meatballs...but the funniest line in this post is still making me laugh: "A noodle and a meatball holding hands, that's funny right?" :)
Sadly I have not seen in new movies in a long time.
I can sew...and I used to think I couldn't...it does take some work but I'm really grateful that I gave it a try when I didn't think I could. It has become quite a handy skill to have.
Not a big fan of meatballs, but I love the advert!
I sew, and I like to sew, I just don't do enough sewing.
I got some of those dolls for us to sew too but somehow didn't get any instructions. I am sure they aren't that difficult but you know...
I can't believe you saw the same movie twice in a week...
I can't sew. I can run the machine and it sews but....
I don't even remember how last week went. Sad...
You know, I will eat almost anything on noodles, especially if there is cheese involved.
I'm on a movie kick. I rarely go to the theater, but for some reason lately I've really wanted to. I'll have to check and see if 17 Again is still in major theaters. I can't get to a discount one around here.
Sure I can sew. I can turn the machine on, thread the needle, and push fabric through the feeder. That counts, right?
What a fun week! I'm glad the family camp out went well. I don't know if I've ever come home from a family camp out with the word fun being an accurate description of the time I had.
